There is just too great a chance of the confusion translating to buggy code. The question is not so much whether we do it as to how we do it... do we rename the malloc flags or do we rename the mbuf flags? I would choose the mbuf flags myself because far more developers have to deal with malloc flags then mbuf flags. Or maybe we should rename both :-) -Matt Matthew Dillon :> That was on the tip of my tongue! :) This also makes it easier to :> distinguish between the flags easily, and stops confusion. I am prepared :> to do the dirty work, if given the go ahead... but not anytime before :> christmas. :) : : You people realize that you're going to have 123019301293 people : yelling at you for breaking 'compatibility' with the other BSDs?
